About These Birds
Great Cormorant
The great cormorant is one of the most widespread seabirds in the world. Unlike most waterbirds, cormorants lack fully waterproof plumage, leading to the iconic pose of standing with wings spread open to dry. In Asia, cormorants have been used by fishermen to catch fish for over a thousand years.
Little Pied Cormorant
55–65 cm. White-faced with black cap; white underparts; dark back. Widespread in Australia, New Zealand, and Pacific islands in coastal and freshwater habitats. Feeds on small fish and invertebrates. Colonial breeder in trees or cliffs near water.
